Art School Confidential (2006)
Often overlooked gem from the noughties! Clowes/Zwigoff's faux light twisted tone gives a type of American Kabuki for true grit and madness of art–world R–complex cliché and in–jokes. See Malkovich having fun with "academic rhetoric–artiste" trope.
Brown Bunny, The (2003)- Vincent Gallo's 'The Brown Bunny': Pure cinema as the art–form you really want it to be. Uber–bioskoopa! For true heads only!
Bottom (TV Series) (1991-1995)- Clever in low–low–low–high explorations of slapstick and why–not laughs. Tender extended riffs of a 'Withnail & I' type? Grungey flatters rejoice yer mirror–de–art awaits!
Prince of Darkness (1987)- Superb slow burn building to glorious zones of terror – terror circa John Carpenter 1987! – So many elements of spookiness that could of maintained there own respective films! Score is Carpenter at his buzzy synth's and reverberated drums finest!
Holy Mountain, The (1974)- Stunning ideas, sets, & visuals made possible with "John Lennon 1970's Bucks": This film proves our unwinnable mechagnosis reality. As the karma burns we are still left with mission and technology – to be radical/root of magic and tool.
Inland Empire (2006)- "More than a deconstruction" – D Lynch (in a French interview on 'Inland Empire').
Last Days (2005)- A quite arty cinematic para–meditation on Cobain situation; non a 'high–lights only' hagiographical bio–pic. For some watching G V Sant's 'Last Days' again (& again) will offer much reward. Mos' def' in my top 10 OAT.
